Louisiana Tech is 9 points from being 4-0 and that is well documented. Even the ESPNU crew doing the Tech at Mississippi State game mentioned in the closing moments of the broadcast that Tech was the best 1-3 team in the country. That doesn't mean much to head coach Sonny Dykes.

"Well that and 50 cents will buy you a Coke," said Dykes after hearing multiple references to that line from the broadcast. "Actually probably 75 cents now days."

Being the best 1-3 team to Dykes means nothing obviously. However, close loses to affect recruiting, especially against an SEC foe.
